If you are a fan of Minecraft, you may like the popular look of the sword, especially the diamond variant, read this wikiHow to find out how to draw one, and how to add your own spin to it! For this demonstration computer drawing software was used, but it definitely can be done with paper, pencils, etc.

Add detail outlines, if desired. If using a drawing software, draw the inner details of the sword with a very fine line before removing grid. If your using pen and paper you still may wish to use the detail lines but it may look messy

Color. This is not a game drawing, so color however you want! You may wish to use similar colors to the default swords but go with any design you desire! However, if you want it to still look 'Minecraft-y' it's better to go with default colors.

Shade it. If you have some more time and patience you can try to shade the bottom and top of the shapes with different shades. For each colored shape in the add more black and/or less saturation to the color, and color a rounded shape in the bottom corners; vice versa shades for the top corners.

Add light 'glints' and 'sparkles'. For a very small but effective final touch you may like to add a little reflection 'glint'. They can be as simple or as advanced as you want from an easy 5 point star to a complicated pointed shape.
